Encyclopedic overview
Bad Weißenstadt am See - sign Bad Weißenstadt ( German pronunciation: [baːt ˈvaɪsn̩ˌʃtat]), until July 2025 Weißenstadt ([ˈvaɪsn̩ˌʃtat] ), is a town in the district of Wunsiedel, in Upper Franconia, Bavaria, Germany. It is situated on the shore of the picturesque Weißenstadter See (Weissenstadt Lake), in the Fichtel Mountains, on the river Ohře, 11 km northwest of Wunsiedel. The town got its name "White City" from the landmark church, once white now weathered dark grey. In 2025 it became the youngest "Bath-city" in Bavaria.
